A further object of the invention is to provide astructure of thecharacter as indicated wherein the stones may be cut in quantities -witha standard cut, and 'stones so out are used in connection with differentmetal designs without' the necessity of special cuts for the differentdesigns. 1

Other and ancillary objects of the inven.

tion will appear hereinafter.

In the accompanying drawings which: il-

Fig. 5 is a side elevation'of the metal de-- sign with thesecuringrivets attached thereto ready for application to the stone.

' Referring to'thedrawings, the ring comprises-the usual fingerencircling metal band 1 in'which is secured the onyx 2, the stone 2being cut away over the greater portions of its surface to form adepression 3 leaving a 1 raised marginal rim 4;, the stone within therim being. cut away at all points whereby the bottom of the depression 3is a plain, smooth surface extending from the rim on one side of thestone to the rim upon the other side of the stone. The size andsimplicity of conformation of the out renders'the cutting operation muchless laborious and more expeditious, and with less likelihood of ruiningthe stone,'than where cuts of single area and intricate outline areattempted.

Extending from front to back of the stone are rivet holes 5 and 6. Themetal design is of sheet metal cut away to form the letters C at 7 and Kat8, 'oined to ether b the triangular piece 9 and the connecting metalportions 10, 11 and 12, the interior opening as 13 of the design andalso the clearances as 14: between the margin of the design and the rimof the stone being left vacant or void, no cement being used but themetal design being held in the depression 8 by the solid rivet 15secured to the design by soldering, brazing or in other suitable ways,passing through the hole 6 and headed up at the back of the stone, andalso by the tubular rivet 16 which is secured at one end to the designby brazing, soldering or in other suitable ways, extends through thehole 5 in the stone and is headed up at the back of the stone.

It will be observedthat the metal plate constituting the design hasformedin it a ings.

hole 17 registering with the hole in the tubular rivet 16 whereby a toolmay be inserted in securing the rivet to the design, and in this hole 17is secured or set a stone 18 such as a diamond, thereby concealing thehole and providing ornamentation on the faceof the design.

In the process of manufacture a large number of stones may be cut of thestandard form asshown in Fig; 4, the difiiculty of sharp curves andpoints in the out being avoided by the construction shown, the rim beingof substantially uniform width and depth throughout- The desiredcomposite of stone and metal design for each individual case is thenproduced by securing the desired design into the depression in thestone, the same standard formation of stone being used in connectionwith avariety of metal designs as desired. i

1 WVhile the invention has been illustrated in what is considered itsbestapplication it may have other embodiments without departing from itsspirit and is not therefore limited to the structure shown inthe draw-WhatI claim is: Y ln -a finger ring, the combination with a metal fingerencircling portion, o'fa composite piece mounted therein, consisting ofstone and metal, the back'of said piece being exposed to the finger ofthe wearer, the outer face of sa i'd stone bein'g'cut away for thegreater portion of its area, leaving only a raised substantiallyrectangular rim at the margin of the" stone, said run being of substantially uniform depth throughout its entire perimeter and;substantially uniform width throughoutthe greater portion of itsperimeter-,, and the stone being cut away at all points within said rimso as to form a depressed surface in a-single plane extending from therim. at one side of the stone to the rim at the other side of the stoneand a sheet metaldesign se'curedin the depression within said rim andone or more rivets secured to said design passing through the stonetothe back thereof and being the sole'means for securing said design insaid depression.

In testimony whereof I have signed this specification this 3rd day ofApril, 1931.
